No I didn't mean sprite. I know how those work. What I want is a way to
define the screen as a grid of say 8*8 chunks and then be able to say I
want this cell a wall graphic, this other one a bush, this one a door....
ect. But I don't want to just display it time and time again with NASR.
Jimmmy Mardell might be able to help me because of the way he wrote
Boulder Dash (BTW, great game!). Every level is set up with cells and he
defined where he wanted boulders and where he wanted walls. That is what
I want help with. Not sprites!
